Fair Grounds,- Salem, Or., Sept, 18.
Portland day at the Oregon State fair
has come and tone, and It proved to be
what It was expected; the. record
; . breaker, the beet day of the meet not
; ronly, but the bent day In the history of
, tna state fair.. 'With nn attendance ap
, proxlmatlng- 22,0ftO people, with every
't department Jammed, and all the 'people
, ' going away satisfied and regretting only
" the fart that' the' dalr did note latt t4
hours, the management of the state fair
can weir reel satisnea wirn ita crrorts
and rest on the laurels gained. ,
.. It was truly the greatest and best
day of the Oregon State fair, the best
known In the hie tor y of that Institution,
- -famous as an agricultural .and stock
show In the Pacific Northwest. The
earliest trains brnuirht neonle from the
1 upper portion of the valley, the Albany
local, arriving at 8 o'clock, alone bring'
Ing seven coaches filled -to the lowest
, steps, and all of these people at once en
teredthe fair grounds, while thousands
from the surrounding country, coming
by 'teamsj wagons,, carriages, on horse-
j back, on plcycle and In yes In auto
mobiles. Joined the--happy throng-In
the grounds making an Imposing army
or sightseers, long before the first grains
came in from . Portland, with the excur
sionists" from that city. And when these
j,- cams, four, trains crowded to the guard'
- rails, and when these: people were Joined
by the Salem contingent, really a larger
one than that at the fair on Salem day,
there waa no doubt that Portland day
at tne niue ribbon state fair was a sue
cess, and not only a success, but the
breaker of all records, In point of at
tendance, In the history of the state.
A Oreat SnJojrablo Time. ,
How those Portland people enjoyed
. themselves! .The last train arrived at
12 o'clock, and by the time the scramble
for lunch waa over, and the Inner man,
6r woman, had been satisfied, they were
' ready to see all that was to be seen,
and they saw It Th county exhibits,
the livestock show, stallions, brood
. mares, fat .stock, swine, sheep, poultry
and all were the, attraction for thou-
' sands, an attraction such as many of
these people had never had before, and
they enjoyed the sight to the full.
But it was at the race track where
the center of Interest was to be found
during the afternoon, and here the
, crowd congregated. A half hour before
the time for calling the races, the
grandstand was filled, and by the time
the Judges took their places for the af
ternoon's work, standing room In the
grandstand, as well as between It and
the track, was at, a premium; and .thou
sands of people lined the fences, on both
.aides, anxious to view the best program
of races ever seen on sn Oreerm- trrk.
And what an enthusiastic crowd it was,
Everything was admired, and praised
and from the time the special trains ar
rived until their departure at dark, the
management vi wis .exposition nrwru
.nothing but: praises Ior . thai splendid
show gathered here, and for the excel
lent "order, maintained throughout; the
" The' feature tot the day was,' of course,
the splendid race program. Three splen
did harness events, including the Lewis
and Clark stake of f 2.000. for trotters,
and two running races, on of - which
waa the Oregon derby,; for H.poo. at
tracted: the; crowd' to, the " grandstand
early in the afternoon, and there It re
mained until after sunset, when the final
heat - or ths big trotting race : was u
elded.'- . :" , i
Several Incidents occurred to mar the
pleasure of the day temporarily. .In the
first heat of the big trotting race, Louis
Z., one of the trotters, "threw his driver
by rearing, while scoring, and ran away,
running clear , around the mile track
with his sulky wrecked, before one of
the marshals caught him.. The race pro
ceeded with Louis 25. in the field, but
in the first heat the runaway waa dia
tanced. ; In the second, heat Sweet Ma
rie, winner of the first heat, came in
third, and it was suspected, that her
driver, Mr. Durfee, who Is believed to
be the owner; had pulled her up In or
der to prevent making a record. When
the horses came out for h third heat
Durfee was called to the Judge's stand
and informed that he could not drive
the mare, but someone else would. -He
ordered the mare off ih -track, and bis
hostler started to take her to the stall.
but ex-Sheriff F. W. Durbln. one of the
deputy marshal's, stopped him and
brought the mare and driver UP before
the Judges. 'Mr. Durfee again entered
the staiid and a long parley ensued,
when It was made clear to the irate
driver of Sweet Marie, that if he took
the mare out of the race he was sub
Ject to. a severe penalty, even to the ex
tent of being ruled off 'the track as
driver and owner, and his horses sub
ject to suspension while In his posses
sion. He left the track under the pro
test of the Judges, and last night these
gentlemen met. gave the driver a hear
ing and decided to expel him from the
traak and suspend his horse. Unless
this is reversed on appeal, Mr. Durfee is
out of racing, for he can not even train
on a track under the rules of the Amer
ican Trotting association." After Sweet
Marie's - withdrawal, only three horses
remained n the race, and of these Dr.
Hammond, winner or tne secona neat.
took the next two, with Briny K. second
and Beladl third, giving them the money
In the order named.

The Oregon derby waa won by Parker

M..J. Roche, lojUl representative of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad this
morning. "We want to bring them out
here next year and show these 'railroad
ers what a glorious country this is."
The first district of the Pacific Coast
Association of Traffic Agents will meet
at Spokane October 10, and one of the
best attended meetings In the history
of the .association Is expected. "Two
Pullman cars will carry the Portland
delegation, while the Seattle and Tacoma
traffic men will hIho have several pe
clal coaches.
What Is said to he the chief topic to
be dinruNsed at the Spokane meeting
will be the securing of the 1901 con
ventlon of the ' American Association
of Traveling Passenger Agents for
Portland. In many reapects, thts cen-
vention will be one of the most lm

so much to do In directing the courae
of immigration as the traveling paa
senger agents of the railroads." said
Mr. Roche. "And this la one of the rea
sons we want them to come to this city
next year. The large number of new
comers, that have arrived In the cltlt-s
of Oregon and Washington during the
past few - months-has opened the eyes
of many Eastern railroad passenger men.
who were formerly of the opinion that
California was the only state on the
Pacific coast.
"Several years ago Los Angeles en
tertained the agents. The people of
that city were such royal boats that
their 'far Knstern' visitors gained the
Idea that only the cities of the Oolden
State were worth thinking of when
referring to the Pacific coaat. If we
can, secure the convention here next
year this notion will soon be one of the

that view."
